LONDON, May 20.--It may be true, as
Life asserts, that Buffalo Bill has not had
the offer of the Bulgarian throne, but there
is good reason to apprehend that the English
government will soon be at a standstill, and
that the other disturber of English euua-
nimity, the crimes bill, win come to grief if
the Wild West show is to be CHARTERED in
the vicinity of London for any great length
of time. The Queen, by heraugIst presence
with her court and Parliament, has
endorsed the exhibition. In the words
of a London reporter, princes politi-
clans, and players have rushed in crowds
to the mimic hunting grounds and have
smoked the calumet with the feather-topped
Redshirt, and the magnificent man" of the
flowing locks. But, what is more remarka-
Bile, London society has opened its arms co
this conquering hero, and already not 20
know and to have shaken hands with Buffa-
10 Bill argues the humiliating fact that one
is without the pale.
No longer does my Lady Lofty content
herself with numbering the Prince of Wales
among her guests. A greaters than he has
risen in her horizon, and a terrible suspense
torments her while she awaits a reply to her
invitation to this star of the first magnitude
this comet might be more fitting figure
to shine III her constellation. Many a
stately dame of high degree is doomed to
disappointment, for are there not in the
gaudily painted Indian basket upon his rude
camp table, scores of perfumed notes of in
vitation, begging the honor of the presence
of this American exhibitor in marble halls
whose vassals wait in plush and satin TO re-
ceive himl Five O'Clock teas and ''at homesn
are but so many conferences devoted TO
Buffalo Bill.
The Royal Academy, the Grosvenor. the
Furniss exhibition, the Royal Opera, even

themes that would otherwise usuIp the social
hour. are banished now from drawing -rooms
for the mind and soul and heart of London
are possessed with one idea--Wild West Bill,
as have heard him designated The sub
ject is fast resolving itself into the question
whether the Queens jubilee is to be an Incl
dent of Buffalo Bills capture of London, or
whether Buffalo Bill is an incident of the
jubilee.
Citizens of the United States, who chance
to be sojourning in England have discovered
that the most effectual method of advancing
their interests is TO put themselves en- ran
port with the barbaric feature of the
American Exhibition-not to rely upon the
inventions, or intelligence, or art exhibits of
the Yankees, but rather TO identify them
selves with the brotherhood of Buffalo Bill
and Red Chief Mexican hats and Indian
blankets would surely be the fashion in
Piccadilly if English people ever changed
their customs or their costumes. Now and
then one meets conservative individual or
sensitive woman, who ventures faint pro
test against these barbarian invaders, but
such are quickly overruled.
During an hour spent recently in the
drawing room Of Miss Hogarth sister-in-

and really prevailing subject. One visitor
